My sister in law purchased this car a while back for my niece. Car is in great shape with low miles. I believe the mileage is around 85K. It has the infamous coolant leak and she's just been checking the level regularly and topping it off. Since finding this forum I've explained that this car really isn't a car for her. She needs something you just put gas in and go. IE Honda. They want to sell the car and be honest about the existing problem. I'm sure this was not the case with the owner they purchased the car from. It has leaked from day one.
Does $2000 to $2500 sound reasonable?

Thanks,
Tom

I think the folowing would be a more appropriate phrase:
"No matter how much YOU GET PAID TO GET A CATERA, it will still end up costing you." lol :rolleyes:
Just kidding. No, not really... :histeric:

Mine is in perfect running order, 90k miles, new tires, new breaks, glossy paint, upgraded lighting and I'm pretty sure I couldn't get $3000 out of it.

I've been watching ebay on them and 97 & 98's are lucky to pull $2000. The 00 an 01's will pull $3000 or a little more if there under 100K miles.
